    Toucan Cpa

    You won't need the BE2 with 2 cans & 25L Unless you are going for 'fire water'.... Dry hop with any thing that takes your fancy. The CPA base will learn you the taste of what the hop does. I don't recommend pride of ringwood for people starting out contrary to *insert name of no care LHBS*...

    Shop Bought Vs Home Grown Hops.

    Theres atleast a few people here that do. Give it a crack! Home grown hops make a bigger impact to the beer. Home malt is just for the fun of doing it.

    Shop Bought Vs Home Grown Hops.

    Green hops are awesome. More breweries would do it but the logistics of storage & transport make it almost impossible. If you are into IPAs & APAs, try a green hop harvest beer. It truly is a class of it's own. Worth every second weeding & tending.

    Lagering

    Makes a massive difference in taste. If you fermented it properly & cold, then it will taste ordinary until it's lagered. Assuming you are bottling, I've found it easiest to lager in the bottle. Taste them at intervals & you will see it goes ordinary to awesome if you can leave it 6 months.

    AHB Articles: Doing it from absolute scratch

    I like the idea of culturing a starter from bread dough. My interpretation of the glyphs that Sam & Florian look at in Egypt is that the ancients used the bread dough like we use slants to start the culture & maintain the strain. Not using the cooked bread as a flavor addition like they ended up...

    AHB Articles: Doing it from absolute scratch

    Updated Still researching wild yeast I found http://www.enologyinternational.com/yeast/wildyeast.html & also read a little about making a bread starter from grapeskin yeast. Thinking this might be a good method to try. Has any one ever heard of someone using a wild wine yeast culture in a beer?

    Quick Question Re: Bottle Bombs.

    Most often happened to us when the sugar dispenser (read Lacky) forgot his count & doubles up on a bottle. They usually go off in the night & take out the adjacent ones. Now it's compulsory in the Brauhaus to say out loud "one, two three" as you dispense. Have lost whole batches (before temp...

    Access To Unmalted Barley Grains

    Can be used if u home malt it. Very easy, just time consuming. Lots of links around on how & an article here which has video. Basically all say the same thing: germinate some grain & kiln it at the right time. Don't know why more people don't: especially those who can't get malt easily (rural)...

    Enhanced Biab With Lauter Tun Stage

    http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...st&id=48145 Sounds similar to what I do: 60L 'urn' filled & heat to strike. Remove 30L to the fermenter & move over the ots element to get sparge ready/sanitize fermenter (keggle). Need no HLT. Mash in the urn with bag open draping over side. DONT...

    Brigalow Or Tooheys

    Stick with coopers. Wait until they have a special & buy up. The euro lager 2can fermented low & aged 4-6 months cold is very similar to becks. Pale ale is a great base to fill out a centennial/Amarillo extract boil like Neil's & then it's a slippery slope to AG

    AHB Articles: Doing it from absolute scratch

    I think realistically back in the day, people figured out how to pitch the good ferment from one barrel to another long before we knew it as yeast. To start a new brewery you 'aquired' fermenting beer from a proven source to kick you off. Pilfering propriatry yeast from friends in the community...
